Hadith Explanation

Speak Less and Listen More

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: "Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, let them speak well or keep silent." [Tirmidhi]

In other words, if you do not have some truthful, useful, nice thing to say then you should not say anything. Ever notice that Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) has given you two ears, two eyes and only one mouth? This means that we need to look and listen more and speak less. Relationships will improve tremendously, and we won’t be amassing sins right and left either by thoughtless words.
